NoN.PAYING CONTRACTS
Which Involved Partnership Firt
In Litigation.

In Litigation.
Augustus Davis, ir., has filed his answer
to the equity cause OF Charles I. Smith 4
Co. for q receiver and to close partnership
business. Messrs. G. s Moore and T. NJ.
Fields appear as the solicitors for tho de-
PENDANTS.
1t is admitted that the sum Of $500 was
drawn from the government for work done
at the government printing office, but de.
MED that there was q refusal to settle with
the complainant. Mr.. Davis says that he
repeatedly Informed Mr.. Smith that the
books were open to his inspection. he
denies that there were any profits derived
from the contract, and says 1t resulted In
loes Of $i3l0l, the expenditures having
been SIS ,994 OIL, and he say he has paid
$3.50 for cement. He states that COM
plalnant received 1856, and not $3.50, as al
legged, and he (complsinant) has not paid
cent of the losses, although equally liable.
The defendant further Gays he has been CON-
PEELED to pay all the losses, and has never
received a cent of the receipts for his own
use, while complainant has drawn 1855
Defendant alleges that the main cause for
the loss was the neglect OF the complainant
by being so continuously drunk as to make
